Sigismund the Old and Katarzyna Telniczanka. Katarzyna was Sigismund's mistress, he had 3 kids with her. He never married her, because she was not even noblewoman-likely she came from burgher family from Moravia. Thus such marriage would be scandalous, but at the time Sigismund started his affair with Telniczanka (around 1498) his 3 older brothers were still alive, so he had little prospect to get throne at the time, and Sigismund was devout Christian, so perhaps he is afraid, that he and Katarzyna would go to Hell for living in sin, thus he secretly marries her to save their souls?

Mary of Burgundy and Ferdinand of Aragon - Only possible if his brother Charles, Prince of Viana survives and has heirs.
Juana, daughter of Henry IV of Castile and Francis Phoebus of Navarre.

Dulce of Aragon and Richard I, her OTL husband marries Matilda of England, the OTL duchess of saxony.
I must say who @Cate13 totally persuaded me with her Francis III of Brittany and Frances Brandon pair. I had also already a certain partiality of my own on Henry II of France and Diane de Poitiers (so if his father do not need to marry him to Catherine de Medici and he remain a simple Duke d’Orleans without the job to secure heirs to France...

Princess Helena of the United Kingdom and Ernst August, the Crown Prince of Hanover.
I have an idea of them marrying before the Austro-Prussian war, and Victoria or whoever convincing George V of Hanover to just sit this one out, and the Hanovers keeping the throne.

That would require a surviving Albert, but is still unlikely as the Hannovers (Victoria’s uncle and cousin) were NOT popular in England
Well, if they are just gonna have a fling...why should that stop them (especially compared to any other Royal Romps with Relatives)?
